Ingredients
- 4 eggs Hard-boiled eggs
- 2 fillets Anchovy fillets
- 2 or 3 Cooked mushrooms (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/2 teaspoon Capers
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/4 teaspoon Paprika (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 teaspoon Tarragon vinegar
- 8 slices Bread (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 tablespoon Butter or clarified butter (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1Carefully cut the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a small sieve. Press the yolks through the sieve into a bowl.
- 2Soak the anchovy fillets in water for 5 minutes to remove excess salt. Dry the anchovies and remove any bones. Chop the anchovies, cooked mushrooms, and capers finely. Add the chopped ingredients to the sieved egg yolks. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir in the tarragon vinegar and mix well.
- 3Melt the butter or clarified butter in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Cut the bread into rounds, one for each egg half. Sauté the bread rounds in the butter until golden brown on one side. Flip the bread and place a half of an egg, filled with the anchovy mixture, on each bread round. Cover the skillet and cook until the second side of the bread is nicely browned and the egg filling is heated through.
- 4Serve the canapés immediately while the bread is warm and the egg filling is hot.
